I Got the Academy Morale Rune

212 – Home (4)

The S-class holder, Ryu Ji-hyeok, is a mysterious figure.

Not much is known about his personal information, and he doesn’t reveal himself well, befitting his nickname of ‘mystical holder’.

It was hard to find any eyewitness accounts of actually seeing him, to the point where rumors circulated that he might be living abroad.

It’s not like it completely disappeared either.

Whenever he was able to forget, he would shine his face once in a while and bring great achievements to the association.

Holder’s free spirit.

It was Ryu Ji-hyeok who was also called by such an unusual nickname.

“hahahaha. You look pretty surprised.”

“… yes.”

I wasn’t quite surprised, I was very surprised.

There are only 5 S-class holders in Korea.

It’s a holder who doesn’t even show his face well…

Is that person Park Jin-Woo’s father?

Of course you can’t help but be surprised and bewildered.

This was a rice cake in the latter half that didn’t even appear in the original work, and maybe I haven’t seen it.

“I didn’t think I would suddenly see Ryu Ji-hyeok Holder at my house… I couldn’t even think of it.”

As Ryu Ji-hyeok is an S-class holder wrapped in a veil, not much information is known in Korea.

Name and face, simple body shape.

and the warrior class.

Among them, it is a battle type that uses a sword and shield.

The flower of the warrior line is in tanking and counterattack, but there is no case other than Ryu Ji-hyeok who has risen to the S-rank holder in such a classic form.

So he was also a holder who was infinitely respected by quite a few warrior-type holders.

He, the real culprit, shrugged his shoulders with the uncle smile he showed us earlier.

“is it? These are names that have made a connection. Park Ji-hwan, Ryu Ji-hyeok, and Kim Ji-seong. All of them have Ji in the middle of their names, right?”

“… … .”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

no…

Who the hell hears that and notices it, sir.

Seeing that he casually tells such absurd stories, he is definitely Park Jin-woo’s father.

I shook my head for a moment to come to my senses, and then I started with the most important question.

“that… What should I call you?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jihyeok Ryu, Jihwan Park.

And another identity that I introduced to my parents today, Kim Ji-sung.

Since he had three names, calling him by name was a problem.

“Call me Park Ji-hwan. That’s my real name, and if you’re Jinwoo’s friends, you should call them by that name.”

I nod my head at those words.

I also thought that the name would be the most appropriate.

Maybe when my parents come back, I’ll call them Jisung Kim again.

“Park Ji-hwan Holder.”

“Speak comfortably.”

Organize your thoughts and ask the most curious questions.

“I understand that Holder is Jinwoo’s father. The real identity of Ryu Ji-hyeok, an S-class holder… I was surprised, but I understood. He showed us how to disguise himself, and Ryu Ji-hyeok Holder’s actions have been like that too. but… ”

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

“I don’t know why you are telling us this. If you’ve been hiding it for a while, there must be some circumstances, but no matter how close we are to Jinwoo… ”

“Is it true that you’re telling me because you’re Jinwoo’s friend?”

“… yes?”

When asked again with a bewildered expression, Park Ji-hwan smiled cheerfully.

“hahahaha. It’s a joke, a joke. Still, that’s not entirely wrong. The reason why I revealed that he was Jinwoo’s father was because I said it as soon as I saw you guys. Even showing Ryu Ji-hyeok’s identity is a different story.”

He took a sip of the tea on the table.

And he spoke slowly.

“It’s easy to reveal my identity to you. Because we may need your help right now.”

“Our… Any help?”

“okay. I am now pursuing a specific group. The group does not exist in reality, and clues cannot be found in reality. Clues that can only be found in dungeons. One of them is here in Haenam… To be precise, it is in the field where your parents are farming. That is why I came all this way as Kim Ji-sung.”

There were many puzzling aspects of him.

It was impossible to tell us all the information, but it was a contradiction in asking for help.

Anyway, one thing is certain.

That Park Ji-hwan is chasing a specific group and asking us to do something for him.

“Couldn’t you tell me what the group was?”

“Not yet.”

“Are there any groups similar to the villains?”

“They are more evil than that. Fundamentally.”

Hearing that, I also nodded.

In fact, I made some predictions.

That another ‘group of evil’ will appear after ＜Billon＞.

In fact, Hwang Seong-yeon, who was an executive, ran away, and even if it wasn’t, information related to the ‘otherworld’ was revealing one by one.

Of course, I didn’t know that I would get that information this way…

It seemed that Park Ji-hwan was chasing the still unknown traces of the organization.

“I kind of understood it. Anyway, the bottom line is what dungeon we want them to clear… .”

I said, barely unraveling the complicated tangle of threads.

In fact, there was one more contradiction in his words.

“Can we do what Park Ji-hwan holder can’t do? We are holders who have just been promoted to Class A, and holder Jihwan Park is in Class S.”

Can we do what S-class can’t?

And it was questionable to leave it to us, whom we just met, whose only acquaintances were our son’s friends.

However, Park Ji-hwan firmly nodded.

“possible.”

“How?”

“It’s because the dungeon I’m asking you to clear is the Transcendentalist’s room.”

“… … !!”

I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected words.

＜Room of the Transcendent＞.

Unlike normal dungeons, conditions are required for entry, and there are ‘powerful trials’ that are difficult for ordinary holders to conquer.

It was a space that I first learned about while attacking with my teacher at the beginning of vacation, and it was information that was not known to the world because the report had not yet been completed.

“Jaehyun knows that you have already overcome the trial of the Transcendentalist once. That is why I am entrusting you with this request.”

“… How do you know that?”

“One of my rune abilities. Seekers see what others cannot see.”

seeker… ?

Again, the familiar words sounded in my ears.

That was definitely an important keyword to Park Jin-woo and me.

Next to us, Kang Joo-yeon is looking at us with a puzzled face.

She doesn’t know anything about ＜Room of the Transcendent＞.

It seemed to me that some further explanation would be needed later.

I thought for a moment and then asked again.

“… Can’t I go with Holder Park Ji-hwan?”

“hahahaha. Jaehyun, don’t you know better? The room of the transcendent requires qualifications to enter. I’m disqualified because I’m already disqualified. And although I ask you this, in fact, you may not be able to enter because you are not qualified.”

That was right.

I don’t know what the conditions for entering the ＜Room of the Transcendental＞ that Park Ji-hwan is requesting now are, but if we don’t meet those conditions, we can’t even try to clear the dungeon.

“What if we don’t meet the conditions?”

“Well, I can’t help it then. I have no choice but to go later and look for qualified and trustworthy people.”

“Are you thinking of asking the association for help? If you’re chasing a malicious group, it’s faster that way.”

But Park Ji-hwan laughed out loud at those words.

“ha ha ha. You’re talking about something really interesting. I appreciate the favor, but don’t decline. There is not a single trustworthy person in the Association.”

reliable holder.

At that ambiguous word, I silently looked at him.

“Then am I a reliable holder?”

“The obvious.”

“… Why? Are you friends with Jinwoo?”

“That is one of the reasons. But there are other reasons bigger than that.”

Park Ji-hwan stood up from his seat with those words.

“Anyway, please. This is a map containing the location of the dungeon and the path to the Transcendentalist’s room. If you succeed in attacking, give me a signal with a proper hello to my parents. Then someday I will find this place again and find you.”

Nearby, his belongings were simply packed.

It was as if we were leaving our house after this conversation.

I looked at it and asked.

“Where are you going?”

“france. I have to find another way to go.”

“… Do you usually go abroad that often?”

“Anyway, more often abroad than in Korea.”

-S-rank holder Ryu Ji-hyeok is not in Korea, but wanders abroad!

The rumor was true.

And then…

I could see his true self, giving up many things and finding his way.

If the monster that contains the most information from the other world is a ‘transcendent person’.

Among the holders, the one holding the most important key was Park Ji-hwan.

“Anyway, please. If you happen to see my son and daughter, please say hello. I stop by once in a while, but I don’t know when I’ll be going home again.”

At that, I nodded.

Being close with Park Jin-woo, I’ve never talked about my father until now…

I wondered what the reaction would be if I took it out.

Park Ji-hwan, who finished organizing his luggage with a smile, approached me.

Then he tapped his shoulder and spoke in a small voice in my ear.

“Wonho and Myeonghyeon, please say your regards.”

“… Do you know the Masters?”

“Now it is a hazy memory. This is the biggest reason I believe in you.”

After saying that, Park Ji-hwan lightly said goodbye and left the house.

“… … .”

really went

No, what kind of meeting and parting is so short?

It seems that Park Ji-hwan is a busy holder, but it was luck that we met each other when we were at my house.

“… Complex.”

Kang Joo-yeon quietly recited.

A lot of information came in in a short amount of time.

Park Jin-Woo’s father was actually Ryu Ji-Hyuk, an S-rank holder, and a secret holder with several names, and he was chasing a specific group separate from the association, and even asked us to attack the ＜Room of the Transcendent＞ in relation to that.

Before I could accept all of this, I left right away…

My mind was all over the place.

“… are you going to do it?”

Shuk-

Kang Joo-yeon suddenly moved on the sofa and came closer to me.

Even with arms crossed.

He leaned his head on my shoulder and asked.

… Now, real skinship is natural.

It’s an amazing development.

“maybe? Anyway, it’s a request from Jinwoo’s father, and it’s probably a pretty important dungeon for me too.”

The only downside is that there is no pay…

In fact, at the level of ＜Room of Transcendence＞, teaching dungeon information is the reward.

Because we monopolize the reward.

“… Then I will do it too.”

Kang Joo-yeon said, digging deeper into my arms.

Starting with the ＜Room of the Transcendent＞, there must be a mountain of information she doesn’t know…

He doesn’t ask about it at all, he says let’s do it together.

I felt a deep trust and consideration for me.

“Yes, then.”

This visit to my parents’ home was the first time I was going to see my parents and come to play with Kang Joo-yeon.

Another purpose was emerging for that ordinary trip.
